Chapter 48: Why Not?
Chapter 48: Why Not?
At the center of the lake, Zhuo Chao and Xia Weiwei looked at each other warily but did not attack.
Ding Haojie breathed heavily against a tree. To create an opportunity for Ding Haoxuan, he had used up all his strength and could not fight on.
As for Ding Haoxuan, he was already half dead after being hit by the mecha wolf. He was lying prone and waiting for rescue.
Meanwhile, the other students began to have second thoughts. Of the main players of the inter-school contest, Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan had lost the ability to fight, Xue Qianqin had been eliminated by Wang Hao, and Zhuo Chao’s combat ability had been compromised after the loss of his mecha.
Wang Hao, as a super dark horse, had basically lost his ability to fight after slashing the mecha wolf.
Therefore, the few strong experts in the inter-school contest posed little threat now.
As for Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan who were also Level-One Martial Masters, they were not dangerous to other contestants, because plenty of them were on the same level.
Even if the two girls were strong, they were still terribly outnumbered.
“What do you think we should do?”
“We did not stand any chance, but now that an opportunity has knocked on our door, we have to try.”
“That’s right. The top ten will take part in the screening test of the Four Focused Colleges. If we are admitted, our lives will be changed.”
“That’s right. If we take down the Ding brothers and Zhuo Chao, there will be three openings.”
“Why did you not count Wang Hao?”
“Wang Hao’s rank is low. He has few score badges with him.”
“Why does he have so few score badges when he’s so strong?”
“He must’ve been too busy enjoying his life in the cottage to collect many and intended to collect them at the end, but things did not turn out as planned.”
“Hehe. That’s good, I’m going to cut him apart now.”
“He does not have any score badges. What’s the point of eliminating him?”
“I just don’t like him. I will teach him a lesson.”
“Bro, you are truly bold. I’ll be sure to attend your funeral.”
“My funeral?”
“Are you an idiot? Having grasped Natural Sword Proficiency and a Natural gait, Wang Hao is certain to be admitted by the Four Focused Colleges. If you piss him off now, do you think he wouldn’t get back at you later?”
“Well... The weather today is not bad at all, right?”
“...”
Exactly at this moment, Wang Hao took tubes, alcohol burners, measuring cups, and other tools from his backpack.
Everybody was stunned to see this.
No sound could be heard anymore. Wang Hao’s hands moved so fast that only afterimages were left behind. His operation was smooth and impeccable.
Soon, a dose of a crimson drug was made by Wang Hao, who took it without thinking. Then, right before everyone’s eyes, he regained all his strength.
Even the injuries on his body were healed, as if he had never been hurt.
“A level-three recovery drug...” Zhuo Chao bulged his eyes at Wang Hao as if Wang Hao were a ghost.
He could not think of anything other than the level-three recovery drug that could recuperate someone instantly.
However, the level-three recovery drug could only be made by Level-Three Medical Grandmasters, couldn’t it? Why could Wang Hao do that? Was Wang Hao a Level-Three Medical Grandmaster? How was it possible? He was only seventeen years old!
The most unacceptable thing was that Wang Hao also grasped two, no, three Natural techniques, including the technique through which he made the drug.
Thinking about that, Zhuo Chao lost the courage to fight. Why would he compete with such a monster?
“Aya, I’m finally recovered!” Wang Hao stretched his arms and rose from the ground. He looked around and said curiously, “Why have you stopped? Go on! I can do this all day! Come and attack me!”
What are you talking about?
Everybody cursed him in their hearts. You were revitalized from near death so easily. How could we expect to defeat you?
Also, even if Wang Hao simply stood there and let them hit him, they wouldn’t dare to.
Leaving Wang Hao’s gifts aside, who dared to attack a Level-Three Medical Grandmaster? The Guild of Pharmacists was established for a reason.
“I don’t think there is any chance for you to use your poison,” Xia Weiwei gloated with a glance at Wang Hao.
“There will be a chance sooner or later.” Wang Hao shrugged. Maybe next time.
...
In the principal’s office in the No. 11 High School, Mo Li couldn’t help but ask again, “Old Su, Wang Hao has grasped three Natural techniques. Do you really not feel that you have lived your life for nothing?”
“Get lost!” Su Mu yelled, unwilling to talk to the shameless old guy.
Deep in his heart, Su Mu was also shocked. He couldn’t understand how Wang Hao grasped the techniques so fast. Were martial arts only a game for some people?
“Senior Su Mu, are we still sending Wang Hao to the test of the Four Focused Colleges?” asked Zhong Li worriedly.
With the gifts that Wang Hao had revealed, he would definitely dominate the test. Zhong Li did not think it was necessary.
Besides, the Four Focused Colleges would send observers to the test. It would be a problem if other universities grew interested in Wang Hao. After all, nobody wanted to give up such a genius.
“Why not?” Su Mu put on a smile. He had already reached an agreement with the principals of the other universities and made sure that Wang Hao belonged to Empyrean North University.
If Wang Hao did not participate in the test, how could he enjoy the regretful looks on their faces?
“Hehe. You want Wang Hao to take part in the test? Not a chance. He can only belong to the Guild of Pharmacists.” Mo Li grew cold and bashed the desk before he left angrily.
“This old fart has no respect for me at all.” Su Mu was enraged. Nobody had ever bashed his desk before!
“Senior Su, please don’t be angry...” Luo Yao hurried to comfort him.
He did not know what to say. Everything was good yesterday. Why had they suddenly changed their attitudes?
“Hehe, Old Mu, I’ll forgive you today.” Su Mu sniffed and opened his smart wristband. He needed to talk with the other three principals and advance the screening test, in case Mo Li kept harassing Wang Hao...
